St. Martin's Griffin imprint will publish the trade paperback edition of Unto the Daughters on July 8, 2008.  Academicians and book clubs will especially appreciate the inclusion of Readers' Guide questions at the back of the book.

Aside from its nomination for a 2008 Michigan Notable Book Award, I am most proud that Unto the Daughters will be included in the first history of Michigan's Italians, currently being researched and written by an anthropologist with Italian and Michigan roots.

Two new reviews have been added to the cover blurbs in this edition, one from Grace Olivo's Comunes of Italy Magazine:

"Many books are called 'page-turners' by reviewers, but this one will truly have you glued to the turning pages for hours.  It's a must read for anyone researching their Italian ancestry."

And another one, from The Harvard College Journal of Italian American 
History and Culture: 

"This poignant family history creates an accessible and intriguing portrait of many aspects of the Italian-American experience.  [A} heartfelt and compelling story."

Grazie Mille to all of you who have purchased this book of my heart and written so many wonderful comments about it.
